Bharat Ek Khoj

Based on India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru's book, The Discovery of India, Shyam Benegal critically-acclaimed 53 episode series showcases the history and mythology of India's story till it freed itself from British reign in 1947.

And Roshan Seth's Pandit Nehru does an excellent job of introducing and summing up every single of its well-researched episode.
